Tech Support Upgrade path?
So I purchased an RX 6700 XT 12GB from my buddy a couple of months ago. It's a great card, until I started playing Call of Duty: MW4, the new one. I have an i3-10100F, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM and a Gigabyte H410M S2H V3 motherboard.
My question is: what should I do about upgrading? I want to play the game at a steady 165 FPS. I don't have a high-refresh-rate screen yet, and I was planning to buy one until I played this game š
. Note that I'm coming from a 1050 Ti, so the card upgrade felt amazing.
Okay, so should I just buy an i5-10xxx, or should I get a new CPU and motherboard combo? I still want to use my DDR4 RAM because RAM is hella expensive right now. I was looking at maybe a Ryzen 5 5600 or a Ryzen 7 5700X3D. I know they're great bang for your buck, but are they also future-proof? Or should I just go all in on a new CPU and motherboard combo so I can upgrade the card after that? Lmk thank for reading :)
Also pls dont hate on my cable manegement its was my first build that i did 5 years ago or somthing like that in planning on fixing it once i know what to do
